Spike paced back and forth. "Bloody hell!
How am I supposed to
explain to her that she's mine?" He stopped and just watched Willow
as
she moved in her sleep. "It's not like I planned this! It's her
soddin' fault not mine!" He went back to pacing. Finally when he could
stand no more he decided to wake her. "Red, luv, time to wake up."
He
shook her gently. "Mmmm... Spike?" She sat up and looked around. "What
happened? I had the strangest dream." She brought her hand up to her
neck and felt the throbbing wound there. Her eyes got as wide as
saucers as realization hit her. "No, oh Goddess no!" She got up and
tried to run. Spike caught her easily. "Shh, luv. It'll be okay, calm
down and we can talk about this." Willow relaxed a bit, she did want
answers.
Spike sat her down on the bed and sat
next to her. He tried to
figure out the best way to explain this to her. "Pet, you how you bit
me and drew blood? Well it's not something we Vampires go around
telling people but if a human willingly bites a Vampire that has fed
from them, it bonds them. If it happens during sex, then it makes them
mates as well." Spike looked over at Willow, her complexion was drawn
and she seemed to have not heard him. "Pet? Do you understand what
I'm
saying?" Spike got up and knelt in front of her. He watched her face
as she thought things through.
*Mates? With Spike? Eternity, he said
that before I passed
out. Does this mean that I'm going to be a Vampire? I don't want want
to be a Vampire! I remember Vamp me, soo not good. I don't want to
ride people like ponies! Oh, Goddess! What if I suddenly want to go
to
LA and make Angel my puppy? I don't think Spike would like that. I
don't think I would like that, Angel is just a friend, not even a
close one at that.
I still have a heart beat, and I need to breath. That's a good thing!
I guess I'm not a Vampire then, but what did he mean about eternity?
Not that being with Spike for eternity would neccesarrliy be a bad
thing, we could do all sorts of naughty things together! No, bad
Willow! This is so not the time for naughty thoughts about Spike!
Plenty of time for that after you figure this out.*
Spike watched as she went from puzzled
to panicked, then back
to puzzled before becomed aroused and blushing. When she finally
looked at him she was just plain curious. "Eternity? How?" She asked.
Spike took her hand in his and then started to explain. "You won't
age, you will live as long as I do. If I die then you will start to
age again normally, however you wouldn't like the life you'd have.
You
need me now, just as I need you." Willow went to interrupt but Spike
held up a hand to silence her. "With out regular exchanges of blood
we
will go insane. And before you start yelling at me, remember who
started this in the first place! I didn't force you into my bed or
force you to bite me. You did that all of your own. Not that I'm
complaining mind you. You're a bloody great shag, I can't think of
anyone else I'd rather be stuck with for the rest of my unlife." Spike
got up and started to pace. "I know this isn't the best of
cicumstances to start out on but...Oh sod it! I like you. I sorta had
a thing for you before the Slayer but then you went and switched teams
and all. I would have turned you that night in the dorm. I wanted you
then, I want you now." Spike stopped pacing and looked down at her
expectantly. "Okay luv, out with it."
"You wanted me? You want me now? Why?"
Of all the things that
he expected her to say that wasn't any of them. "Why? I'll tell you
bloody why! You're gorgeous pet, all that pale skin and shiny red
hair. Plus you've got this power in you that calls to me. I knew you
had potential for great magic even before you did. I've always been
drawn to strong women pet, you're the strongest I've ever met. I need
you Willow, but moreso I want you. I know that I could love you, if
you'll let me. Will you let me?" Willow stood and wrapped her arms
around his waist, she buried her head into his chest. "Yes. I'd like
that. I think I could love you too, very easily." Spike tilted her
face up to his and kissed her. "Spike?" "Yes luv?" "I think that we
should leave Sunnydale. Buffy and Xander won't understand this." Spike
held her a little tighter. "You're right. Where do you want to go?"
Willow thought for a moment. "How about LA? I'll bet you this would
make Angel crazy! Knowing that he can't do anything to you with out
it
hurting me?" Willow gave him an evil grin. Spike smiled at her. "I
do
like your dark side Red, eternity with you will never be boring. And
just think, we can torment dear old dad forever. But first I have
plans for you my little Witch." Spike scooped Willow up into his arms
and placed her on the bed. Leaning his body down on hers he whispered
in her ear. "I'm going to shag you breathless for eternity." Willow
arched up into the contact. "I think I can handle that."
